Amanda Lee Falkenberg is an Australian composer whose music explores the intersection of music, science and humanity's place in the cosmos. Her works are recognised for their emotional depth, cinematic orchestration and visionary collaborations with leading scientists, creating immersive artistic experiences that awaken curiosity and inspire wonder.

Ahead of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's world premiere of the symphonic suite from THE MOONS SYMPHONY at the Ravinia Festival, writer Web Behrens described Falkenberg's work as "a pioneering new creation" that "combines orchestral and choral composition, cutting-edge visuals, and true planetary science into one glorious achievement." He noted that the work was born from direct collaboration with an international cohort of researchers, including scientists from NASA and the European Space Agency.

THE MOONS SYMPHONY is Falkenberg's landmark seven-movement symphony for orchestra, chorus and soloists inspired by the major moons of our Solar System. Recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra and London Voices under Marin Alsop and released internationally by Signum Classics, the work transforms contemporary planetary science into a powerful musical journey that celebrates exploration, discovery and our shared place in the universe.

In 2024, the symphonic suite from THE MOONS SYMPHONY received its world premiere by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival under the baton of Marin Alsop. The complete symphony will receive its world premiere in 2027 with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Laura Jackson.

Falkenberg's catalogue also includes the piano concerto Crossing of the Crescent Moon, recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra with pianist Anna Tsybuleva and Marin Alsop, the Sea Trilogy, and a diverse body of orchestral, chamber and vocal works. Her compositions are distinguished by their ability to weave scientific ideas into compelling musical narratives while inviting audiences to reflect on humanity's relationship with the natural world.

Beyond composition, Falkenberg is the creator of LUNAR (Learning Under New Artistic Regimes), an interdisciplinary educational initiative that brings together music, planetary science, art and creative inquiry to inspire students and lifelong learners through innovative STEAM education.

Originally from Australia and now based in Dubai, Falkenberg collaborates internationally with orchestras, scientists, educators and cultural institutions to create works that transcend traditional artistic boundaries and foster meaningful connections between disciplines.
